New Hampshire Mittwits

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney was rushed to a New Hampshire hospital today after experiencing what doctors later described as a "brief but potentially dangerous moment of sincerity." Campaign insiders said this was likely brought on by a brutal schedule that left Romney little time to sleep. A campaign spokesman called the incident "minor" and "highly unlikely to happen again."

The two plan to create a website and author a book, “’God Carved in Night’: Afro-Texan Culture, Political Activism And the Rise and Fall Of Bishop College” based on this project.
